What is the significance of China traditional opera in China culture?

Although China's classical opera matured in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, compared with many other categories of China's traditional culture, it is a relatively "young" art, but it widely absorbs, draws lessons from or integrates the artistic essence of traditional literature, music, dance, martial arts, acrobatics, folk art, fine arts and costumes, embodies the philosophy, religion, ethics and aesthetic mentality or concepts of traditional China people, and expresses the public's views on history and politics. It is for this reason that Peking Opera, which was formed in modern times and has a history of more than 100 years, is regarded as the representative of China's national quintessence, and together with Chinese medicine with a history of thousands of years, it has become the last model of China's classical opera.
